Report: Sixers working on another move following Mike Muscala trade

The Philadelphia 76ers aren’t ready to let the 2018 NBA offseason cool down just yet.

While they were unable to lure LeBron James or create a package enticing enough to bring Kawhi Leonard to town, Philly has remained active. Most recently, they were in a three-team deal with the Oklahoma City Thunder and Atlanta Hawks which brought Mike Muscala to town.

In exchange, the Sixers moved Justin Anderson (to Hawks) and Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot (Thunder). But, as Keith Pompey of Philly.com revealed, the team may be working on another move currently.

Multiple league sources said the three-team trade is not expected to be completed in the coming days. One of the sources said that’s because the #Sixers are working on another move.

It’s certainly eye-opening, and you have to wonder what Philly could be looking to do at this point. It’s unlikely the Sixers trade for a high-profile player who has a big cap hit in the years ahead, as they’ve set themselves up nicely to make a push for a star in the loaded 2019 free agency class.

Brett Brown and company haven’t shied away from pushing the “win now” mentality, so a variety of potential moves are realistically on the table.
